South Park's No Show Mo

The folks at South Park are brilliant. I'm not really a fan of South Park but I have seen a few episodes. This season's shows seem to be a bit more biting as satire goes. Last night's show about "pulling the Mohammed episode" was pure genius. When the "network" ok's the Mohammed episode and Comedy Central "censors" it, the nail is clearly being hit on the head as to how ridiculous the Cartoon Jihad is. The Al Queda response is a hilarious bit of potty humor that would be utterly offensive if it wasn't contained within a show lampooning censorship itself.

Bravo to the artists who are not afraid to poke fun at themselves and everything else.

**UPDATE**In case anyone is wondering, I think this is becoming a hugely clever publicity stunt. Watch for the upcoming South Park episode where Kenny is killed by a blogger whose pen/keyboard is mightier than the "censored" Mohammed's sword.
